The bumper will be able to tow the full factory tow rating. Yes it is gusseted, we'll have construction pics available when we get it done.

Don't really want to offer this. It seams to be a split on if people want it. It wouldn't be hard for the end user to hole saw and drill some holes to mount it.

Will you do the tire carrier on the 96 and down rear bumper? Like the Pre-Runner Front also. Looks great.

Why do most rear bumper/tire carriers have to block the back up lamps?
Won't pass Virginia Safety Inspection, and I'm sure other states have laws about blocking lights also.

It shouldn't be that hard to makt the tire mount 3" lower.

That's why I made my own.

Well, it's the zero hour. We wrapped up the rear tire carrier bumper, however it's not going to be ready for a couple more weeks We have to make some design changes to allow for things to work better, before we are okay with it going out on the market. Now that the "Back in Black" sale is right on top of us, we are just out of time. Mike and I are going to revisit it on Monday morning and see if we have the mental capacity to tackle this right away or if we want to take a break from it for a short bit.

We have a Jeep coming in this weekend and we will be starting on the cold and fold option the first of next week.

But anyways, here's how it looks!

We didn't sell many of our old style Stage 1 or Stage 2 front bumpers. When we did the redesign, we wanted to slim our offers to allow for faster delivery and to have less items to stock.

We were not even going to offer a bumper other than the Crusader with the wrap around side, but we decided that we would offer one, although it would only be available in one configuration (hence the designation as "Basic").

The pricing on these new products in built around building X amount of each in a batch. This batching allows us to cut labor costs and optimize our steel sheets. We can fit more basic crusaders on a sheet, thus the savings price difference. Labor-wise, these are not any quicker to go together than our Deluxe version.

I like how the quarter guards mount to the bumper seems like it would increase the strength in that area a good amount.

The standard XJ Rear is now online. We also put up pricing on the Deluxe and some general information, but it won't be available until later this month.
